I am trying to have something happen when the difference in time from the last object in the array list appearing and the current time is 30 seconds.
here is my code
tab 1: main code
StopWatchTimer sw;
int ix = 500; //initial x
int iy = 500; // initial y
float z = 0;
int count = 0;
int delayRate = 30; // in seconds
int currentTime = 0;
int newTime = 0;
boolean start;
boolean doSpawn = true;
int mx;
PFont fontA;
PImage img;
int x2 = -524; //background x diff.
int y2 = -268; //background y diff.
PVector location;
PVector velocity;
PVector acceleration;
int locx; //
int locy; //
ArrayList places;
//ParticleSystem ps;
void setup() {
size(1000, 1000);
frameRate(30);
sw = new StopWatchTimer();
sw.start();
location = new PVector(-524, -268);
velocity = new PVector(0, 5);
acceleration = new PVector(0, 0);
img = loadImage("yellow_binary2.jpg");
fontA = loadFont("Verdana-24.vlw");
places = new ArrayList();
places.add(new Place(ix, iy));
//ps = new ParticleSystem(new PVector(width/2,50));
}
void draw() {
//Import Background/ Edit
image(img, location.x, location.y);
//location.add(velocity);
if (location.y >= 0 ) {
location.y = -268;
}
//Draw Places
for (int i = 0; i < places.size(); i++) {
Place place = (Place)places.get(i);
place.display();
if (places.size() >= 2 && i != 0) {
Place prevPlace = (Place)places.get(i-1);
line(place.x, place.y, prevPlace.x, prevPlace.y);
locx = prevPlace.x;
locy = prevPlace.y;
// println(nf(locx, 4) + ","+ nf(locy, 4));
}
}
/*for (int i = places.size()-1; i >= 0; i--) {

placeGone.remove();
